They’re back! Starting tomorrow, we will resume booking new road tests for Classes 2-6!

In order to effectively manage the anticipated high interest in booking new road tests, particularly for Class 5, available appointment slots will be made available every Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. until we are able to work through the expected backlog. When all the available appointments are filled, new appointments will not be made available until the next Wednesday. Cancelled appointment slots will also not become available until the next release date.

There are three ways to book a road test appointment:

• Online: Customers are encouraged to book Class 5 and 6 road tests through MPI’s Online Services here: https://apps.mpi.mb.ca/onlineservices/en/default.html.

• Over the phone: For customers who either cannot or do not wish to visit an Autopac agent or service centre during the COVID-19 pandemic, you can call your Autopac agent to book a test.

• In person: As always, road tests can also be booked in person at Autopac agents or MPI Service Centres.

As with all of other testing we have been able to resume, we have made some changes to the road test procedures to keep customers and staff as safe as possible.

These include:

• Maintaining physical distancing (minimum of 2 metres/6 feet) when possible.
• Providing and wearing your own mask (non-medical masks are permitted).
• Answering questions to ensure you have not been exposed to COVID-19 or are not experiencing respiratory illness symptoms.
• Sanitizing all touchpoints in their vehicle.

To find the requirements for your specific licence class, please visit our COVID-19 Driving Tests page here: https://www.mpi.mb.ca/Pages/COVID-19-driving-tests.aspx.

We know many Manitobans have been financially impacted by COVID-19 – and we want to help.

MPI will be issuing rebate cheques to our policyholders – for a total of $110 million.

What does that mean for you?

If you have an insurance policy with us, you can expect to receive a cheque in the mail in mid to late May for between $140-$160, based on the average policyholder (approximately 11 per cent of your policy cost).

We are still determining exact rebate amounts for each policyholder, however this information is not available at this time.
